In 1528 an expedition set out from Spain to colonize Florida. But all went awfully wrong and it turned into a desperate journey of survival. Of the four hundred men who had embarked, only four survived and they wandered through the Southwest for ten years in search of the Pacific Ocean to try to reach Mexico. They lived with different groups of nomadic Indians and learned several indigenous languages, saw lands, people, plants and animals that no European had seen before. Andrés Reséndez relates the exciting story of four castaways wandering through a strange land.
